Luke Akehurst has once again opened his mouth. Which means once again, he’s been caught chatting shit.
Luke Akehurst claims that the faction he is part of, that wrecked, lied & smeared in order to regain control of the party, then ruthlessly purged the left & hollowed out the membership, & which now oversees a party polling at under 20%, has the best interests of Labour at heart pic.twitter.com/ydRu2oARsc

Akehurst is the former director of We Believe in Israel, an organisation known for overlooking Israel’s decades-long flouting of international law. The organisation sits under Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre, a think tank that promotes ‘awareness’ of Israel. I think we already have way too much of that.
Famously, Labour parachuted Akehurst into a safe seat in North Durham for the 2024 General Election. Of course, he lives over 250 miles away in Oxford.
Q: How many Labour party members selected Luke Akehurst to be Labours candidate for North Durham?
A: Three. All three Lukes mates on the NEC and none of them from North Durham.
This is what they wrecked, lied and smeared for.

Luke Akehurst deletes the evidence
He also deleted over 2,000 posts from X in the run-up to the election — I wonder what he was trying to hide?
But now, Akehurst has claimed that his faction of Labour has the best interests of the party at heart. The same faction that lied, wrecked and smeared Jeremy Corbyn to take control of the party. And as Secretary of Labour First, he basically focused on overturning the influence of Corbyn’s left.
Yes, you might be right about your morally bankrupt faction still having the upper hand in Labour.
But so what?
Labour is bleeding out in front of us.

And that same faction now oversees the party, and hilariously, has it polling at less than 20%.
It was a majority that fell into your laps as the Tories imploded. You have fumbled a huge opportunity and now you’re going to destroy the Labour Party forever. Let that be your legacy

But he’s got the best interests of the party at heart. I’m guessing the party now has the same interests as Israel.
Another Israeli bought & paid for Zionist Labour

You can almost guarantee that if Reform UK win the next election, Akehurst and his shithead pals will blame the hard left, which they have all but expelled since 2019.
I know mate and the worst thing is the likes of Luke Akehurst and the NEC will probably blame the left of the party that ironically enough they all expelled a few years ago. You watch, I bet they’ll do that.

Things must be bad
It says it all that Starmer has stuck Akehurst on TV. Things must be really bad.
Unironically bad sign for Starmer that they are having to put up Luke Akehurst to spin the loyalist line on TV https://t.co/ODKWWAVsNz

Akehurst also clearly loves Israel more than North Durham, which is strange because he’s ginger. The northern summers definitely seem more of a fit than 30º sun.

Don’t forget your suncream, Lukey.
I wonder, if Luke Akehurst chats shit in the forest and no one’s around to hear it, does a think tank still fund it?
